Lynda,

You quite fit the bill, as it was predicted, persons, "Worshiping the 
creation more than it's Creator."

You don't think that I already know all the pagan and secular stories? Yes I 
do!!

I used to be a "pagan" myself, until I met God. Something which you 
OB-viously have never come close to.

I'd like to be there, on the Judgement Day, listening to you try to tell God 
all of these things. It will be quite a lonely laugh,.....and watch.

Paul Hillman

  Subject: [Homestead] Wrong Answer, was Who started this ChristmasThing?


  That's a nice story, Paul, but is simply that a nice story.  Fact is, we
  have the Romans and Northern Europeans to thank for the whole gift giving
  thing and it had nothing to do with Jesus.

  I have a friend who is a fundie and I really think you could take a lesson
  from her "Rest assured most of us fundies know the real story :) but we
  celebrate Christmas anyway, with pagan Christmas trees and all. We just have
  the little extra added bonus of having a savior to celebrate.  Some of us
  fundies are really fun loving.  Christian hedonists if you will ;)"
